    There is no compelling evidence because you can't prove one way or the other that there is any evidence of what you claim. So, it's simply your opinion.
    If there was nothing wrong and it was just enthusiastic fans then why change the voting rules just a few days into the poll? The tallies since the rules change are much more in line with the numbers from previous years.

    Really the proper thing to do would have been to start the poll over.

    Look, I understand you love Yes and because of that, you seem to need this to be true. But, there are many other possible reasons why they would change the poll rules. Until something is officially said (if ever), anything you claim is pure conjecture. So, we can let it end here unless you bring actual facts to the table.

    The proper thing would have the poll last 7 days and that is it.

    Put The Dregs in before Morse with DP.
    and put Tommy Bolin in the Rock n' Roll HOF before Bolin with DP

    again:
    Just showing that I'm not making up the numbers. It's also worth noting that Kiss won the 2014 poll with less than 240K total votes. In previous years there were limits from the outset. The numbers from October 15 onward are in line with the participation from previous years. The pre October 15 results are RIDICULOUS. It's just common sense. Others have commented on the possibility of the pre Oct 15 poll being corrupted by robovoting:

    If they were to ask me who should be inducted, I'd say everyone up to and including 90125. I believe that's 12 people.

    Thank heavens, Gruno, we have you, someone who is very clearly neutral on the matter with no prior opinions about Yes.

    I'm sort of disappointed that JA didn't issue a Press Statement marked "For Immediate Release" the way Greg Lake and Geoff Downes did (see other thread).

    This is big news and there's a world of media out there champing at the bit to run with the story.

    Does it matter that this waste of time is what makes a life for you?
